Just takes some minor getting used to.

I agree with Don. In my opinion, automatic chokes and big horsepower engines should not be under the same hood. You do not want excess fuel washing your cylinder walls when the engine is cold. This is especailly true with forged pistons. It's kind of fun using the footpedal to temper the whole she-bang.
